< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6 who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
